President Trump has launched the Genesis Mission — America’s modern Manhattan Project for AI-driven scientific breakthroughs. Led by Michael Kratsios (former Pentagon R&D chief with a $106 billion budget) and David Sacks (PayPal Mafia veteran and Trump’s new AI & Crypto Czar), the program unites all 17 DOE national laboratories, their supercomputers, and the world’s largest collection of scientific data into one secure AI platform. The goal: shrink scientific discovery timelines from years to hours in biotech, nuclear energy, quantum tech, semiconductors, space, and national defense. Backed by Nvidia, Dell, Oracle, and Anthropic, Genesis is the U.S. answer to China’s national AI network — leveraging America’s 75 % share of global AI compute power and unmatched data assets to win the race.

In the early days of the web, the internet felt like an unstoppable force of globalization—a borderless bazaar where American ingenuity reigned supreme. As Max Read recounts in a poignant New York Magazine essay published November 10, 2025, the U.S. didn't just export code and servers; it beamed out an entire worldview.

In a world where Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides are rapidly embedding AI into their ecosystems, one underdog is not just holding its ground — it's redefining the game. Meet Gamma, the AI-powered presentation platform that’s quietly become the most formidable challenger to the tech giants. With its freshly launched Gamma 3.0, the startup isn’t just creating slides anymore — it’s generating full websites, social media layouts, and interactive documents, all from a single prompt. And the numbers? They don’t lie.

Mark Lu, the founder of TrustMRR.com, runs the largest public database of verified startup revenues (the only bigger one belongs to Stripe, but they don’t share nearly this level of detail). Thousands of founders voluntarily connect their Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, and bank accounts so their real monthly recurring revenue (MRR) or annual recurring revenue (ARR) can be tracked and displayed publicly.

Philadelphia has just become home to a groundbreaking new entertainment destination: Netflix House. This isn't just another pop-up experience; it's the streaming giant's ambitious first foray into permanent, themed entertainment. Designed to immerse fans deep within the worlds of their favorite Netflix shows and films, the Philadelphia location marks a significant step for the company, potentially reshaping the landscape of location-based entertainment.

In a twist straight out of its own sci-fi playbook, Embark Studios' breakout extraction shooter ARC Raiders – where rogue AI robots have driven humanity underground in the year 2180 – has been dinged by Eurogamer for... using AI to generate NPC voices. The review, scoring it a brutal 2/5 (40/100 on Metacritic), praises the "smartly designed" PvE combat, clever machine-learning-driven robot behaviors (AI fighting AI, ironically), and a surprisingly friendly community where "Don't Shoot!" pings have become a wholesome meme. But reviewer Rick Lane skewers the studio for "contemptuous" text-to-speech voices, calling it a "lack of artistic integrity" in a game about human survival against machines.

In the fast-paced world of online business, speed kills—especially when it comes to following up with a lead. Imagine this scenario: You run a car rental business, and a potential client submits a reservation request on your website. Statistics show a brutal truth: if you don't connect with that client within 5 minutes, the chance of them wanting to talk to you drops by a factor of 10. Why? Because after 5 minutes, the client has either moved on to a competitor or simply put their phone down to watch a movie. The moment of interest is gone.

The promotional blitz for the new film Nuremberg, in which Russell Crowe plays Hermann Göring, has brought the acclaimed actor into the digital spotlight.
